Honda CR-V: Installing a Child Seat with LATCH

Your vehicle is equipped with
LATCH (Lower Anchors and
Tethers for CHildren) at the rear
seats to secure a child seat in any
seating position: one in each outer
seating position, or one in the center.

The five lower anchors are located
between the seat-back and seat
bottom, and are to be used only with
a child seat designed for use with
LATCH.

The location of each lower anchor is
indicated by a small button above the
anchor point.

When you install a child seat in the
rear center seating position, use the
center lower anchors as shown in the
illustration. To install a child seat in
either outer seating position, use the
outer lower anchors. You can install
up to two child seats at a time using
the outer lower anchors.

Do not attach two child seat
connectors to a single lower anchor
at a time.

Using the Outer LATCH

To install a LATCH-compatible child
seat in either of the rear outer seats:

1. Store the seat belt buckle or
tongue in the storage pockets.

2. Make sure there are no objects
near the anchors that could
prevent a secure connection
between the child seat and the
anchors.

3. Place the child seat on the vehicle
seat, then attach the seat to the
lower anchors according to the
child seat maker’s instructions.

Some LATCH-compatible seats have
a rigid-type connector as shown
above.

Other LATCH-compatible seats have
a flexible-type connector as shown
above.

6. Route the tether strap over the
seat-back and through the legs of
the head restraint, then attach the
tether strap hook to the anchor,
making sure the tether strap is not
twisted.

7. Tighten the strap according to the
seat maker’s instructions.

8. Push and pull the child seat
forward and from side-to-side to
verify that it is secure.

9. Reinstall the dual deck cargo shelf.

Using the Center LATCH

To install a LATCH-compatible child
seat in the rear center seating
position, use the center lower
anchors as shown above.

1. Follow step 1 through 5 as
described previously to secure the
child seat.

2. Pull down the cover to access the
tether anchor.

3. Route the tether strap over the
seat-back, then attach the tether
strap hook to the tether anchor in
the ceiling, making sure the strap
is not twisted. Tighten the strap
according to the seat maker’s
instructions.

4. Push and pull the child seat
forward and from side-to-side to
verify that it is secure.
